I struggled with the finding Robert Millar book, took me a few weeks to get through it.

Obree book I finished in two days, really tragic story at times, stories of his childhood by page 6 had me worrying how bad it was going to get.

Enjoyed both of brads,

Cavs first but his second came across a bit to whiney.

Hoys is a good read, the multiple Olympics keep it going throughout.

I had Wiggins..'My Time'. Enjoyed it but found it a bit disjointed, it seemed to meander about, not much structure to the whole thing. I still enjoyed it, but...

Is wiggo's book an updated copy of the one that was out about three years ago?

I read it then and enjoyed it.

Tyler Hamilton was a good read, even if there is a lot of, "poor me, I'm the victim in all this."

Chris Hoy, a good read.

Both the Cavendish books are quite good.

Obree, another good one.

Hutchinson's The Hour, good book.

Victoria Pendleton I gave up on after forcing myself through two chapters, too much angst and, "I only wanted my daddy to love me," for my liking.

In Search Of Robert Millar, good book.

I've not seen David Millar's yet, so if anyone is thinking of putting it up as a book raffle go right ahead. :smile:

Laurent Fignon, one of the best.


And not bio's but -

Ned Boulting's Yellow Jumper is a good one.

Tim Moore's French Revolutions, once I've read a book that's normally it, but this one I've read three times, it's hilarious.
 
This is an excellent book:

One of the greatest cyclists to come out of the British Isles, and possibly the greatest-ever female cyclists anywhere.

I've remembered a few more -

The Escape Artist by Matt Seaton, another book I've read twice

Bjarne Riiis's bio, can't remember the title, I think it's something to do with light and dark.

You're right, 'Stages of Light and Dark'. Good read.

I probably most enjoyed Richard Moore's 'In Search of Robert Millar'.
+1 one of the best bike race biographies I've read
